Windows 2003 antiWPA

I'm running Win2k3 x64 R2 on a core2duo system, and around about 3 weeks ago I realised I had not yet activated, did a bit of playing with it, and activation disappeared. Like a few other posters here I am getting a 7 days left for activation message.But unlike some of the other posters:- I am already running 3.4.7Reinstalling did nothing other than produce an error "Access is denied"tied with the registry part given that the hive had already beenpreviously imported.- System Info tool says nothing about activation in the summary.- Trying to start the activation process produces nothing. The activation window never appears-running tasklist /m /fi "Modules wq antiwpa.dll" shows the antiwpa.dllmodule is present and linked with the process winlogon.exeI don't have ideas. I mean chances are that in 7 days this will blow over and nothing will happen, but the other chances are in 7 days it'll be time for a format.---------------by junglelist on Fri Sep 05, 2008hi Garbz,i have the same problem. i reinstall my win xp pro sp2 x64 for 2 weeks and installed the antiwpa 3.4.7.Yesterday, windows told me to activate it. i rebooted my system and entered the safe-mode as admin.I tried to uninstall the antiwpa that i can reinstall it. i also get amessage with "Access is denied". so i opened regedit and try to change the "OOBETimer" value manually. but windows denied the access.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents so i used the right mouse-button on"WPAEvents" and change the rights of the admin to full access. now icould change the value. after i reinstalled the antiwpa patch, i triedto check if it works correct. i used the command"%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a" but the activation window won't be opened. If i change the "OOBETimer" i can view the window to set the activation, but i'm not able after patching to open it.i think there's a problem with the patch.EDIT:i have solved the problem. i found another activation file in the internet and replace the "new.hiv" with the downloaded. now the system is activated and it's also possible to check it with "oobe\msoobe.exe /a".--------------- by zz44 on Sun Sep 07, 2008It is fixed To install over the old:1) Change permissions of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents with Regedit to full control foradministrators.2) Then run the install.cmd to install new.________________________________________
